The data in Table 2.1 show:
(Data source: Financial report of ACC-244 Joint Stock Company)
The Company's assets have decreased gradually over the years, specifically: total assets at the end of 2019 were VND 324,414,932,751, a decrease of VND 15,638 million compared to 2017, equivalent to a decrease of 3.69% and an increase of VND 59,285 million compared to 2018, or an increase of 30.86%.
Short-term assets at the end of 2019 compared to 2017 decreased by VND 18,656 million, equivalent to a decrease of 5.51%; and compared to the end of 2018, in 2019, short-term assets increased to VND 56,365 million, or an increase of 21.39%. The Company's short-term assets account for a very large proportion of the Company's total assets (from 99.55% at the end of 2017 to 99.39% at the end of 2018 and 98.60% at the end of 2019), which is understandable for a construction company because assets are largely concentrated in receivables from customers and inventories. But this also shows the Company's current situation of being quite capital occupied.
Long-term assets at the end of 2019 compared to 2017 increased by 3,018 million VND, equivalent to an increase of 198.72%; compared to 2018, long-term assets at the end of 2019 increased by 2,919 million VND, or an increase of 180.54%.
This is a positive change showing that the Company has focused more on long-term asset investment. Purchasing more machinery and equipment to serve the construction of the Company's large projects.

From table 2.2 shows:
(Data source: Financial report of ACC-244 Joint Stock Company)
The Company's total capital has decreased gradually over the years, specifically: at the end of 2019, it decreased compared to 2017 by 15,638 million VND, equivalent to a decrease rate of 3.69%; however, compared to 2018, the total capital increased by 59,285 million VND or 30.86%.
Owner's equity at the end of 2019 increased by 4,476 million VND compared to 2017, equivalent to an increase of 10.46%; compared to 2018, it increased by 2,219 million VND or
increased by 4.93%. The proportion of equity in total capital increased (from 12.58% at the end of 2017 to 16.99% at the end of 2018 and 14.57% at the end of 2019). This demonstrates the increased level of financial autonomy and independence of the Company.
Meanwhile, liabilities have decreased gradually over the years (from 87.42% at the end of 2017 to 83.01% at the end of 2018 and 85.43% at the end of 2019), but still account for a very high proportion of the Company's total capital. In general, the Company is mobilizing more capital from outside than from within. This shows that the Company wants to expand its scale but its own capital is scarce, so it needs more funding from outside.

From Table 2.3, the Company's solvency can be summarized as follows:
Regarding general solvency: at all times the value of the indicator is greater than 1 and has little fluctuation over the years. At the end of 2017 it was 1.14.
times; 2018 was 1.20 times and the end of 2019 was 1.17 times. This value shows that the Company has the ability to pay its debts.
Regarding the ability to pay immediately: This indicator uses cash and cash equivalents to be ready to pay the Company's due debts. The value of this indicator is low (less than 1) and fluctuates over time. It can be seen that the Company's ability to pay immediately in the 3 years is very low, below 0.5. Specifically, at the end of 2017 it was 0.21 times; in 2018 it was 0.17 times; and at the end of 2019 it was 0.11 times. This shows that the Company may have difficulty in paying debts, in urgent times, short-term receivables and other short-term assets are difficult to quickly convert to cash to promptly meet due debts.

Table 2.5 shows:
The Company's asset size has decreased over the years. At the end of 2019, it was 424,414,932,751 VND compared to 2017, it was 340,053,554,196 VND, a decrease of 15,638,621,445 VND or a decrease of 4.6%; in 2019, compared to 2018, it was 265,129,232,099 VND, an increase of 59,285,700,652 VND or an increase of 22.36%. Total assets decreased mainly due to a decrease in short-term assets, in 2019 compared to 2017, it decreased by 18,656,865,223 VND or 5.49%, in 2019 compared to 2018, although it increased by 56,365,884,670 VND or 21.26%, it was still lower than the total short-term assets of 2017. Long-term assets also increased and increased sharply in 2019; in 2019, it increased by 3,018,243,778 VND compared to 2017, equivalent to an increase of 0.89%, and increased by 2,919,815,982 VND or 1.1% compared to 2018. The reason was due to fluctuations in the following items:
* Short-term assets: In the structure of short-term assets compared to total assets, receivables account for the highest proportion.
Cash and cash equivalents (mainly cash) decreased year by year. In 2017, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was worth VND 63,870,786,619 (accounting for 18.78%) of total assets, but in 2018, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was worth VND 38,399,617,355 (accounting for 14.48%), down VND 34,539,870,908 or down 10.16%; and in 2019, it continued to decrease to VND 29,330,915,711 (accounting for 9.04%), down VND 9,068,701,644 or down 3.42% compared to 2018. In general, the Company maintains a good amount of cash, ensuring favorable payment ability. Because the general trend of increasing cash is considered not good, if the amount of cash in the fund is quite large, it will reduce the Company's ability to turn over capital.
Short-term receivables are the value of assets that the Company has been appropriated by other units (receivables, customer receivables, advances to employees, receivables according to construction contract progress schedule).
